Taxes axed this weekend

Items that will be tax-free include clothing and footwear costing less than $100 per item, clothing accessories and equipment if the items are less than $100 per item; school supplies; school art supplies and school instructional materials, according to an official statement from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.

Specific information about the items included or not included in the sale is available on The Saline Courier's website.

According to a study by Tax Foundation, "Sales tax holidays do not promote economic growth or significantly increase consumer purchases."
Instead, shoppers just change when they buy school supplies, according to the study.
